# RisuAI Integration

Use this guide to connect RisuAI to NanoGPT so you can run your chats through NanoGPT models.

## Before You Start

1. Create or log in to your NanoGPT account.
2. Generate your API key at [nano-gpt.com/api](https://nano-gpt.com/api).
3. Open [risuai.xyz](https://risuai.xyz/).

If RisuAI shows onboarding, skip it. NanoGPT is configured in the main settings.

## Step-by-Step Setup

1. From the RisuAI home screen, open the left menu (hamburger icon), then go to **Settings**.

   * **Model**
   * **Auxiliary Model**

   </Frame>
4. Paste your key from [nano-gpt.com/api](https://nano-gpt.com/api) into **NanoGPT API Key**.
5. If you have a NanoGPT subscription, enable **Use subscription endpoint & models**.
   * If this is not enabled, RisuAI uses pay-as-you-go mode by default.

   </Frame>
6. Choose your model in **NanoGPT Model**:
   * **Select from List** to browse available models.
   * **Manual Input** if the model list does not load or you want to enter a model ID directly.
7. Optional: enable **Response Streaming** for streamed output.

## Pay-As-You-Go Provider Selection

In pay-as-you-go mode, some models expose multiple providers. RisuAI will show provider options with pricing so you can compare and choose.

## Quick Troubleshooting

* Model list not loading: switch to **Manual Input** and enter the model ID.
* Unexpected pricing mode: verify whether **Use subscription endpoint & models** is enabled.
* Auth errors: confirm your NanoGPT API key is valid and pasted without extra spaces.
